Keira strode purposefully toward old Mr. Martin, gazing directly at him. "I'm not late, am I?"
Their agreed-upon time was ten in the morning.
Old Mr. Martin said, "No, you're not."
Keira nodded.
Old Mr. Martin led her into the house, with Lewis and Holly following closely behind.
No one stopped Lewis, but when Holly tried to enter, Vera stopped her. "This person is from the Special Division, Mr. Martin. Are you sure you want her here for the procedure?"
Before old Mr. Martin could speak, Keira retorted, "Aren't we here to do a DNA test today? That shouldn't be illegal, right? Why can't she stay? Or are you planning some illegal transaction and are afraid she'll witness it?"
That question silenced Vera.
She then sneered. "You always seemed so cold and aloof; I didn't expect you to be so sharp-tongued! However, regarding the Martin family's matter today, I won't allow her entrance!"
